Story

So I've decided that I'm going to raise money for Cancer Research UK. To raise this money I am setting myself the task of not having access to the Internet or my phone for a month. However the only time I will be allowed to use the Internet is to do homework or other school related work. Now to some of the older generation this may not seem like a big deal, however for me and my generation, not having a phone or internet access is the equivalent to the end of the world. However we are so caught up on our phones that we are not even seeing what's happening around us. Development on finding a cure for cancer (there are hundreds that need to be found but this is just in general) has increased dramatically after recent research has made us able to understand what is happening to cancerous cells and what is causing them in a much clearer way. But they need the money to pay for all this work, and so this is where a 15 year old boy from Rustington comes in. I am asking you, to raise money for this. I'm not telling you to sponsor me, however I'm asking you. It only has to be a small amount, I'm just honoured that you would actually sponsor me to do this in the first place. You may be thinking "can't I just donate direct to them" yes you could, but at the same time you could be seeing me suffer as well as the money going to them. Win, win situation. Thank you for reading this, if you did, and hopefully you feel that what I am doing is for a good cause.
